25th January Due Date

hi guyssss I'm currently 12 days away from my due date... i went for a walk today after recovering from a flu. my lower belly does feel a lot heavier tonight and my breasts hurt a lot... Do you think thats a potential sign for babh to come? also its my friends baby shower tomorrow and i really want to go even though its a 2 hour drive away. ( travelling with other friends) my midwife said just take your notes and hospital bag just in case. however my husband is saying no.. how can i convince him to let me go? lol
